Let's go to our fallers. And of course, when there's risers, there's guys that fall down
0:05
I Peter, who's your biggest ballers from your mid term to your final ones here
0:10
They I'm going to get to the one that's on everyone's mind. And that is Anton Suleyev
0:16
Mainly because of the fact that yes, he's big, he's mobile, he's got that's a Dana char like
0:24
person that personality but skill set to his game, maybe a little bit more offensive production
0:29
But after that hot start, he hasn't really quite he didn't maintain that consistency. And I kind of
0:36
expected that as a teenager in the KHL, there is bound to be some regression. And there was not to
0:42
say that he won't be as aggressive as productive next season. The season after that, I just had
0:48
some reservations that maybe his decision making was a little bit off at times, even defensive play
0:55
didn't quite seem to match that as what happened was what I saw in the first half of the season as
1:01
well. I just feel like there are other defensemen that also started to make their impact. And I
1:07
could really can't say anything about Adam Yurich, right, because he hasn't played all year. But you
1:12
know, there's a possibility where I feel like there's more upside possibly with a guy like EJ
1:18
Emery, Stan Solberg. You know, I just had some question marks about the offensive production. And
1:27
again, it's counterintuitive where you shouldn't like write off a teenager playing at the pro
1:31
league. I just want to see a little bit more. But yeah, that's just where that was my reasoning for
1:38
dropping saliv down. Again, it's very likely that he does go top 10 because some teams are definitely
1:47
gonna not want to pass on that because of that size and mobility and even the physical play. It's
1:52
just it seems like everything else kind of took a step back after that. Another faller and Dayton
1:59
sorry about this, but Luke Misa fell out of my first round. After being a highly dynamic and very
2:07
very creative playmaker, I still think highly of Luke Misa. I just feel that, again, other players
2:15
answer the call, they rose up their play increase. But also, if that play alone for Misa is going to
2:23
be enough to be replicated next season in the season after that, like, can you still maintain
2:27
that? There were question marks about that as a result, because of that. And it took a little bit
2:35
longer for me to try and see that I will admit that, but I still think he's going to be a very
2:40
effective or very valuable top 50 pick because of that playmaking creativity and skill that he
2:44
possesses, especially when he's on the Russian and neutral zone, hard to contain him. And that is
2:51
the reason why he just fell as a result, but everybody else kind of like up their game when he
2:56
really didn't quite do enough and kind of just stayed stagnant
